Techniques for WCAG 2.0 is not intended to be used as a stand-alone document. Instead, it is expected that content authors will usually use How to Meet WCAG 2.0: A customizable quick reference to read the WCAG success criteria, and follow links from there to specific topics in Understanding WCAG 2.0 and to specific techniques.

Status of This Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.

The purpose of this draft is to collect public feedback on proposed changes since the WCAG 2.0 Techniques Working Group Note of 26 February 2015. The Working Group intends to publish an updated Note once feedback from this review has been incorporated. The existing Techniques document remains in place as a W3C Note while this separate draft update is under review and the WCAG Working Group addresses comments. The changes are highlighted in the diff-marked version.

Comments on this draft are due on or before 29 January 2016. The Working Group requests that any comments be made using the options documented in Instructions for Commenting on WCAG 2.0 Documents. If this is not possible, comments can also be sent to public-comments-wcag20@w3.org. The archives for the public comments list are publicly available. Because this is a public review of changes to the Working Group Notes, only comments on changes made since the last Notes will be processed during this review; other comments will be saved and treated as comments on the updated Notes once published. Archives of the WCAG WG mailing list discussions are also publicly available, and future work undertaken by the Working Group may address comments received on this document.

Materials from the public to assist in documenting techniques are particularly welcomed. Please use the Techniques Submission Form to submit techniques.

Publication as a Public Editors' Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.
